The real-time demonstration was made at E3 last night...
Dogged by rampant rumors and speculation surrounding the status of Killzone 2, as well as the increasing pressure on Sony to boost PlayStation 3 interest and sales, the first demo footage of the PS3's leading console exclusive FPS was shown at E3 last night to a select crowd.
Killzone 2, now scheduled for a 2008 release, will place gamers in the ISA again where they will assume the role of a special forces operative called Sev. Gameplay starts out with an all-out attack on the planet Helghan (to capture the Helghast leader). From there the team must secure the capital city Pyrrhus, but the Helghast adapt quickly and harness the planet's environment, using its power against the ISA. A large part of the ISA's success will be learning how to cope with the challenges that the planet's environment throws at them.
"There have rightly been high expectations for Killzone 2 since we shared the vision for the title back in 2005," said Phil Harrison, president, Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios. "Guerrilla have worked hard to focus the power of PlayStation 3 to realize their true vision for the game. With incredible action, drama-fueled gameplay sequences, and a vast array of weapons and vehicles, Killzone 2 defines a new benchmark of our industry."
This demo follows the controversial events of 2005's E3 where it was alleged that Sony had not shown in-game footage of Killzone 2 in their demonstrations as the graphics were too advanced even for the PS3, and that the footage was in fact computer generated.
In order to achieve this level of quality in-game, developers Guerrilla have implemented proprietary tools and technology such as deferred rendering techniques to create detailed character animations and surroundings. Advanced cinematic effects such as motion blur, internal lens reflections and depth-based colour grading are also used to produce stunning visuals.
This hotly awaited sequel is set to feature atmospheric environments that respond realistically to weapon fire. Additionally, the near inhospitable atmosphere of Helghan will throw up a number of gameplay challenges for players to overcome.

post:no 612: they're probly gonna stup future produtin because its so good that there dosen't need to be anymore development. It ahead of the 360 for sure... a 360 disc holds 6-7 gb's of data were as a ps3 disk holds 35 gb's of data.. so you tell me which can hold more ,ps3 is the clear winner. With more space ps3 has more details.And what idiot's pay to go online..360!!!Ps3 is free online so shut the hel upp

and left for dead looks like crap i'm sorry but i seen some horrible graphics and this tops it.i think a ps2 could play this fine lol killzone is diff than ur first person shooters.to me its better than halo gears and even call of duty.it just gives u so much variety.I've played all these games so this is not just me saying whatever.i mean bulky slow hard to aim gears an same gun over and over on halo and call of duty is alright but killzone so diffrent story.AWESOME GAME HANDS DOWN. If u have not played it rent it or buy it wth u doing.you wont be dissapointed.

If that was so true why dont halo or even gears even look as half as good as killzone 2 i mean have u seen killzone on a lcd 1080p tv i mean it looks so much better than halo or gears.Trust me it couldnt happen.well actually it could but u kno the graphics would not look as good.

oh and just to further that point where on the ps3 is left 4 dead (you know that realy good zombie fest shoot em up that can only grace machines that can actually handle this game) not on ps3 maybe cause it sucks.

lol post 605 if the ps3 is so much better than 360,wii,pc ect why is it that activision are thinking about pulling the plug on future ps3/psp development.
lol ps3 starting to shine yeh right its in a shiny trash can where it belongs.

i also agree with the person below my other post lol, he knows what hes on about.
i do think K2 would be able to go to 360 but somehow i doubt sony would give MS killzone away just like that, i rekon MS would need to give a game like gears of war or halo to them first lol =P

post 607, you are right, but most of us here just dont have the computewr to withstand most of these games, like crysis and even some of the older games.
i repect your comments by a mile, but most people (apart from the fuc.ktards) like console because they can play so many games without having to take up to much memory, you probs know this like lol
personnely i like game on both PC and console, only my computer can only hold a maximum of 5 games cause of all the viruses its had over the years, thats why i prefer consoles, RTS games are my only sell point on PC apart from world of warcraft =)

Several cats, who say they know about graphics jajajaja what a joke and praising pc as a gaming "console" don't know or they need to know about stats and tech. So many of you keep praising the dam 360 inclining the 360 can match ps3 top potential/graphics. First PC is more powerful than consoles but, the PC is not a gaming console and who ever keep saying that is a child with out hope GAMING CONSOLES are way deferent to PC that is why consoles have 86% in the gaming industry and PC 14% look it up. Now as for graphics you guys need a them schooling degree like what I study so stop praising or comparing PC to consoles the fact you can play games on it means nothing that is not what there for anyways even dare to say that cause PC have more resources "Random access memory" know as (RAM)they automatic are more powerful or cause you change the vcard you already know more than a developer or everybody else hmm "get a life". Now many of you have said that K2 can be done in 360 I may agree to that but you so call geniuses forgetting that K2 was build around spes not symmetric garbage so before trying to impress about your PC skills or how much you PC worth and superiority stop running your mouth on a forum keep in mind that cause 360 has been able to to get an edge in multi-cross platform games cause is easier to develop for hmm porting from pc. Anyways porting than to build from ground up is totally deferent. Ps3 has more to offer developers than what 360 can or ever will K2 will not be ps3 best and last before posting don't google it study then write peace
